"Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. It has history, culture, life, character-" she steps forward, teeth gritted.
"its has rats." Adriano interrupts.

"It has traffic." he says teeth gritted.
"It has soul." she glares at him.
"It has terrible drivers." he eyes her.
"It has me. And that automatically makes it better than whatever cave you crawled out of." she jabs a finger to his chest.
*************
Madelyn Laurent is a French princess with two overprotective brothers, zero patience, and a mouth that gets her into trouble. Reckless, rebellious, and completely unfiltered, she has never been very good at behaving.
Adriano De Luca is the future Don of Italy--cold, ruthless, and a full-time control freak. Power comes easily to him, but before he can claim it, he's forced to meet one irritating requirement: getting married.
Their first meeting at an auction is a disaster. Insults fly, hatred is immediate, and both leave fully committed to never crossing paths again.
That plan falls apart when their parents arrange a marriage to secure an alliance, forcing two enemies into a union neither of them wants--and turning irritation, tension, and banter into something impossible to ignore.
Because some hearts aren't won --they're auctioned.
